Browsing the ZIP Server
If the contact you are adding is another Zephyr/IP, you can take advantage of the ZIP Server’s directory services.
This can be used to reduce typing using the front panel keypad, or when you do not know the exact name of the
Zephyr/IP you’re trying to reach.
From the Front Panel
Select the Phonebook option from the main menu, and then click on Browse ZIP Server. This will take you to the
group selection screen. Click Find Groups to as the ZIP server for a list of groups. You can limit this list by entering
text in the Optional Mask field. This will cause the server to only return groups that begin with the characters you
entered.
After you press Find Groups, the group list will be selected and active. Scroll to the group name you want, and press
the main control knob to choose it for browsing. If the list is very long, you can press the keypad button that has the
first letter of the group name (for example, pressing the 7 key will jump to the first group starting with P).
Choosing a group will take you to another search screen. Here, you will select the device name of the codec in the
group that you are trying to reach. Once again, there is an optional mask. In addition, there is an optional group
password field – use this to search for Zephyr/IPs that are set to be hidden to non-group members. When you click
the Browse button, the list will again become selected and active. The shortcut keys to jump to a character in the list
work for this list as they did for the group list.
Once you choose a device, the cursor will jump to the Add… button. Click this, and you will be taken to the phone-
book entry edit screen. This is the same screen used for manual dialing, but with all the device information filled in
for the selected unit. You will still have the opportunity to change the redial setting, dial bits, and have the choice of
whether to save the current codec settings with this entry.
From the Web Page
The phone book is on the Autodial web page. From its Auto tab, click the Directory button. This will take you to a
group search screen, just as the front panel did. Enter in an optional mask, or leave the * to return all groups. Click
OK
to perform the search.
Select the group that you want from the list at the right, and then click OK again. This will take you to the device
search page. Again, this works like the previous screen, and also as on the front panel: put in an optional search
mask, and a group password if required. Press OK to search. Then, select a device from the list at the right. Click
Add
to add this device to the phone book, or Call to call the device directly. Just as on the front panel, once you
select a device to add, you will be taken to the same screen used for adding phone book entries manually. Verify the
information and choose any additional phone book entry settings, then click Save.
